Just been hacked through this method and cannot believe how redis can ship with such ridiculously insecure defaults, and that they don't even MENTION the security concerns from the quickstart guide, which is what the majority of people

"If anyone feels this strongly about a certain group (like Elia), they will find "devil's advocate" (for a lack of better expression) reasons to disagree with them simply because they don't like them, or otherwise t

There are two reasons someone would make the non-utilitarian answer to the questions: - They wouldn't feel that they could bring them self to cause someone's death (but they could still be utilitarian in principle) - They feel tha

Ah, I completely misunderstood the original commenter and in my mind conflated "outright aggression since prior to WW2" stuff with the black money, I was probably confused because the money laundering is kinda what the graphic all

Empire is of no relevance to British citizens today, or for a long time, whereas this is. Also, I've never read anything about this mexican/bangladeshi/indian/russian/saudi black money that you're talking about

This would be more of a story if the ruling went the other way. Someone threatens to kill people at work and loses his job, no shit. Imagine working with that person after you've had quite a specific and calculated death threat from th

don't see how this is any different from the educational backbone infrastructure in the UK like JANET. JANET has been around since (and before) I was at school 15 years ago, and has kept with the pace, more info at https://w

You got burnt out, no need to turn it into a sob story or a bitter industry rant. You couldn't manage your time effectively. By all means if you're unhappy change your lifestyle -- and pronto -- if you can eek out an existence in

I don't think it's unprofessional and I wouldn't want to work with anyone who did, so if that's the effect it has for some people, then it's self-fulfilling!

My immediate gut-feeling after reading it was the same (though perhaps less strong). Through the author's journey, the article seems to suggest there's either guilt or blame, and no possibility of an in-between feeling of "it

You cannot cry propaganda without providing some evidence as to what is misleading or factually incorrect, because otherwise anyone can say anything is propaganda.

if that's the case, it's the job of the 'informed' guys to write similarly illuminating counter-arguments, because I've not found any yet.

Any output like this, unless maliciously fallacious, is contributing in some way to the general understanding of the software concerned and benchmarking best-practices, even through its mistakes. It's the job of the reader to judge the

I don't care how involved he is in the case, I read his writing and I found it to be illuminating -- far more so than anything else I'd read on the subject. You can happily take the opposing view simply because he is involved and

Can't say that this has been my experience. I moved to the other end of the country 2.5 years ago and still haven't really formed a social group. I started off heading out and doing stuff on my own, but it gets pretty depressing p

Yet more programmer/tech industry denigration propped up by completely unproven assertions. Firstly most of this is based on the idea that as a programmer you are only either great or shit, and that this is somehow a problem of the ind

This doesn't surprise me. Our app relies on the Yubikey devices for 2-factor auth and since the iPad 4 Apple have deliberately blocked non-Apple devices working with the Camera Connection Kit, meaning that our customers cannot use our
